ANN COULTER: I started a tweet today that I’ll be sending out every morning as we watch the progress, the border wall update. The number of miles built today, zero. The number of miles built since Trump’s inauguration, zero. Look for the next update tomorrow.
I mean, I’m a little annoyed. This was the campaign promise that shook up the political world. You would think, if you were someone like Paul Ryan, after spending the entire Trump campaign trying to undermine Trump and still to have him elected and be elected in a pretty stunning victory, winning Wisconsin, Paul Ryan’s home state. Something Republicans haven’t won for 20 years, including when ha-ha Paul Ryan from Wisconsin was on the ticket.
You’d think the day after November 8th, so November 9th Paul Ryan wakes up and thinks I don’t think I will go for my four-hour weight lifting routine today. I think I’ll start working on the signature promise that just won Donald Trump the election and not wait until April 27th to say to the president of the United States, you know we’re going to have to drop funding for the wall because we don’t want a government shutdown, when of course, as I wrote in my column this week — they are not funding a wall to avoid a government shutdown? Not having a wall is the definition of a government shutdown. The basic purpose of government is to keep us safe. If we can’t protect our borders, I’d say that’s a government shutdown.
